Lyrics:

She doesn’t think about you

Half as much as you think about…

She doesn’t think about you at all

You told me not to pine for you

But I feel so evergreen

Ever green with envy, put the pen ink to paper and savor it

Labor til these rhymes stave the cravings and I save her

Save the time we spent together like spinning disc memory

Preserve her and our moments together in ink

Til the moments flow back when I close my eyes to blink

What comes around goes around and around again

Like I’m roundin’ the bend of a mountain road where I have been

Many times before; look over your left shoulder

See a view you’ve misconstrued so many times before

Orthopedic

I can feel it in my bones. A storm’s comin’; I can hear it blowin’ down my window

Crash

Hear glass breakin’, soul shakin’

Shakin’ the knees that the soul don’t have no need for

Ghost from the past floats over the glass

Break me in two as easily as Moses with a staff

Most would just laugh

Tell me that I’m insane

But none of these can see even a crease inside this brain

They don’t know what this means to me

Living piece of my history

As beautiful and distant as the sky above the pine trees

I’m doin’ long division on stolen sheep

This rest feels undeserved as you’re not next to me

You’re just so cold as you walk away

As cold as your eyes as they don’t turn to meet my gaze

As cold as your hands on mine, cuz mine are warm

As cold as your hands are when they close the door

Familiar; you’ve closed this one before

Not that I’m keepin’ score; you keepin’ score?

I’ve been through this before; it left quite an impression

A lesson learned, left with regrets, but wrestlin’ with depression turned

Me into an enemy, left me here with steady feet

As distinct as the horizon when the sun sets at sea

Questioning everything; crashing into love and fallin’ deep

Left another with denial, anger, and bargaining

I’d lost that aggression when you came back to twist my levers

I think you and I are destined to do this forever

This is what happens when an unstoppable force

Meets an immovable object; waves stop at the shore

This love is madness, as you know is like gravity

All it takes is a little push, then these thoughts start stabbin’ me

Masterpiece, whether under moon or sun

And I kept on pressin’ because you’re just too much fun

Cycled through, my mind returned to you and your name

The wheel spins, but the spokes stay in the same place

You’ve got a life you want to live

You’ve given all you had to give

Never wanted to fall for you again

But then, I never wanted to be just friends

Life continues on, and we along with it

A song given to capture the wrong image

A static picture of the past to obsess and trim it

Cut and paste til it resembles what we want with it

I don’t know what you think or thought or dreamed or read

My views of you are tumors doomed to consume my head

But as much as you and I have both changed

Through the decade, you and I have both remained

Exactly the same
